I hope to record what I see and sketch on my daily walks around my home in Rural South Australia

A lesson with Joe Penn

Today I went off for a drawing lesson with some one whose name I didnt even know, because my local art teacher had him and about 12 of us gathered for one of the best drawing lessons I have had.It was fun and very instructive.I am not known for my drawing, and when as it was today, it is hot I have trouble concentrating, but I came home with several drawings some of which I thought for me, were quite reasonable.I have never in my life drawn sheep and when I saw what Chris who sat next to me was doing I thought I would have a go, and so these were born.Everything was done using shading and a 2b pencil, I never seem to have time to concentrate on drawing like this and perhaps, just perhaps I will try to do 10 minutes a day for the next few months.Having said that I am feeling worn out and this well over 37 degree C heat has got to me.Kyoshi's Haiku is lovelyDeftly the new moonbrushesa silver haikuon the tips of waves.
